Thank you!Thanks for downloading these excellent maths wordsearches from Great Maths Teaching Ideas!

These resources focus on consolidating understanding of key concepts in GCSE mathematics and improving literacy through using correct mathematical vocabulary. In addition to a wordsearch, you will see on most of the resources that I ask the pupils to ‘explain the meaning’ of the hidden words or to ‘give examples’. The aim is that whilst doing a fun wordsearch, the students will also have to explain the key conceptual mathematical ideas, putting them into their own words. This ensures the learners are reflective thinkers and also promotes independent learning skills through them having to research and summarise key ideas. The resources make great revision tools.

The wordsearches span the length and breadth of the GCSE mathematics curriculum. There is a ‘Mega Maths Wordsearch’ towards the back of the collection that brings together key concepts from across the whole curriculum. I have found this a useful resource for revision lessons where the pupils identify the hidden words and then describe their meaning. A bit of healthy competition adds to the engagement! At the back of the collection is a ‘Design Your Own Maths Wordsearch’ resource that you may find useful if you want your class to be creative and reflect on the key terms of a topic.

Thanks again for downloading these resources and I hope you and your students get lots of quality learning experiences from them!
